AI Receptionist for Dental Offices — Never Miss a Patient Call

The average dental practice misses 30-40% of incoming phone calls, and each missed call represents $200-$300 in lost revenue. That adds up to $12,000+ per month walking out the door. An AI receptionist answers every call instantly — no hold music, no voicemail, no lost patients.
